The Georgia Bulldogs have been ranked third in this week’s version of SEC power rankings. Not surprisingly, LSU checks in at number one. Alabama is ranked ahead of UGA as well:

It remains to be seen where the Bulldogs will be ranked in this week’s version of the CFP Rankings. The rankings release tonight at nine. Georgia versus Alabama will certainly be a topic for debate tonight, but if the Dawgs go on to win the SEC, then they’re a lock for the playoff. If Georgia wins the SEC Championship, and the LSU Tigers’ only loss is to UGA, then both LSU and Georgia get in over the Crimson Tide.

Georgia travels to Jordan-Hare Stadium to face the fifth-ranked team in these power rankings: the Auburn Tigers. This will be a grind-it-out defensive battle that’s expected to be low scoring. It should be the Dawgs’ largest remaining test of the regular season, but Georgia’s College Football Playoff lives are on the line every week.

ESPN’s FPI has Georgia favored in two of its next next three matchups.

Where the program sees Georgia losing is this weekend to Auburn, where it gives the Bulldogs a 47.4% chance of beating the Tigers on the road.

Coming off a 27-0 win over Missouri, Georgia’s chances of beating Auburn actually increased 2% from last week’s 45%, according to the FPI.

After this weekend, UGA’s final two games of the season, as predicted by the FPI, include a home game vs Texas A&M (Georgia has a 84.1% chance of winning) and on the road at Georgia Tech (Georgia has a 97.1% chance in that game).

In terms of strength of record, the FPI ranks Georgia No. 11, with two signature wins and an 8-1 record.

Additionally, the FPI gives Georgia a 17.7% chance of winning out, which is what it will need to if it wants to make the College Football Playoff.

The Georgia Bulldogs secured a commitment from 2023 athlete Treyaun Webb out of Jacksonville, Florida. Webb is youngest current commit to UGA football. Georgia has no other commitments in the classes of 2022 or 2023. The Dawgs have three commitments in the class of 2021.

Here’s how Georgia Twitter reacted to the commitment from the freshman in high school:

Webb visited last weekend during the Missouri game:

A lot can change for both Webb and the Georgia program in three years. This will be interesting to monitor moving forward.

Treyaun Webb, a 2023 athlete, has verbally committed to the University of Georgia. Webb is from Jacksonville, Florida and plays football at Trinity Christian Academy.

Webb named UGA his leaders back in February. Today, he committed to Georgia via Twittter:

Webb is UGA’s first commitment in either the class of 2022 or 2023. Kirby Smart and company only have three commits in the class of 2021. Webb has a long way to go throughout the process and several years to develop before he’d come to Athens.

Webb is only 180 pounds and is six feet tall. He may grow some more before he plays in college. It’s another win for Georgia recruiting.

Twitter reacts to Chiefs’ WR Mecole Hardman’s 63 yard TD

Mecole Hardman Jr. scores his 5th TD of the Chiefs’ NFL season and twitter reacts to the rookie’s speed.

Mecole Hardman Jr. is starting to become a NFL Sunday household name.

The rookie wide receiver out of Georgia has been making highlight play after highlight play this season for the Kansas City Chiefs and did it yet again this Sunday.

On Sunday, Hardman caught a jump pass from Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and took it to the house for a 63 yard touchdown, leaving defenders in his dust and looking foolish.

WATCH:

Twitter started to buzz over the rookie’s wheels.

Hardman has also been putting in more work than most, showing up hours before games and hours before any other players to catch punts from the Chiefs’ assistant equipment manager.

Hardman has been nothing short of entertaining this year, and with Mahomes back after suffering a dislocated kneecap, the two have the potential to be one of the leagues top QB-WR threats.

Georgia football HC Kirby Smart updates Lawrence Cager and Trey Hill injuries

Kirby Smart briefed the press in regards to WR Lawrence Cager and C Trey Hill’s injury status, following Saturdays 27-0 win over Missouri.

With the departure of former Bulldogs receiver JJ Holloman prior to the 2019 season, there were some question marks surrounding the team on who would be Fromm’s new favorite receiver.  Enter Lawrence Cager, the senior wide receiver out of Baltimore, Maryland who has fit in just perfectly to that roll.

Cager, who has established himself as the Dawgs #1 wide receiver option this season, aggravated his shoulder in the second quarter of last weeks game against Missouri, and would not return.

Along with the Cager injury came an injury to center Trey Hill, who suffered a ankle sprain in the first quarter of the game.  Hill would also not return to the game.

In Kirby Smart’s Monday press conference he was asked about the health of both Cager and Hill.

“We’re expecting Lawrence to practice today,” said Smart. “And Trey has an ankle (sprain), but he’s going to be able to practice today, as far as we know.”

“They are both cleared to practice.”

Exciting news from Coach Smart.

#5 Georgia comes into the matchup with a record of 8-1, and 5-1 in the SEC.  The Dawgs will secure a spot to their 3rd straight SEC Championship with a win this week over Auburn.

Cager has averaged 14.7 yards per catch and has 4 touchdowns on the year, even with missing some time.  Kirby Smart will need to manage these injuries very closely if he wants Cager and Hill to help him beat the #13 Auburn Tigers this Saturday.

A full injury update will come later in the week, including updates on the status of both Cager and Hill.

SEC announces kickoff time for Georgia football game vs Texas A&M

The SEC announced the kickoff time, TV station for the Georgia football game vs Texas A&M.

On Monday morning, the SEC Twitter account posted kickoff times and television stations for the games on Saturday, November 23rd.

Georgia’s home game that day vs Texas A&M will kickoff at 3:30 and air on CBS, making it the fourth time this season that the Bulldogs will be featured on the SEC on CBS.

Most recently, Georgia vs Florida was in that slot, and this weekend against Auburn the Dawgs will occupy the same spot.

CBS used its lone primetime slot earlier in the season on Georgia when it hosted Notre Dame.

If Georgia beats Auburn this weekend, the Texas A&M game will be a huge one for the Dawgs, with only one regular season matchup to go before playing LSU in the SEC Championship.

The Aggies host South Carolina this weekend and are currently sitting at 6-3, which includes a three game winning streak.
